A Triple Board-Certified Physician’s Guide to Perimenopausal Body Skin
Crepey arms. Thinner skin. Loss of firmness. Changes in texture that seem to appear almost overnight. They may not be “just aging.”
In Perimenopausal Skin, Dr. Sue Decotiis explains the hormonal shifts happening beneath the surface and what they mean for the skin on your arms, chest, stomach, thighs and beyond.
Your skin is an organ and it responds to hormones.
As estrogen, progesterone and testosterone begin to shift during perimenopause, the effects can show up throughout the body. Changes in hormonal signaling can affect collagen production, hyaluronic acid retention, barrier function and the underlying support that helps skin look firm and resilient.
That means the crepiness on your arms, thinning skin on your chest or sudden loss of firmness may be connected to the same hormonal transition affecting your sleep, weight, mood and other parts of your health.
It’s all part of the same conversation.
Inside this free guide, Dr. Sue breaks down:
Why perimenopause changes your skin and why those changes can begin earlier than you expect.
Why body skin needs a different approach than the skin on your face.
What hormones have to do with collagen, hydration, elasticity and crepiness.
How to evaluate body skincare like a physician, including what ingredients and claims are actually worth paying attention to.
Where hormones, topical treatments and lifestyle fit together in a more complete approach to healthy aging.
